Yeah, well that's it. Ng and I find ourselves among the rare group of people from our extended group who are single and ready to mingle and have a normal conventional lifestyle, not eschewing society's expectations etcetera because a normal healthy relationship with a caring loving partner is what we want. Which is saying a lot it turns out, not what I'd have imagined but these are strange times. Strange, strange indeed. I've learned so much since moving to Seattle.
In any case, because single women don't grow on trees apparently and the app situation is not favorable to somebody looking to meet people fitting my criteria plus I don't have the energy or perhaps the time to figure out somebody and have all their insecurities and trauma come out over the course of many many years and then learn to figure it out the only source of getting to meet new people is being set up with friends of friends.
And that's where I am.
I'm not particularly ashamed, no, just a bit annoyed that just as I've come to this realization a large portion of people I know seem to be on the 'nope, not setting people up anymore, I'm outta that game' which is a bit annoying as it suggests maybe they were held liable for the damages caused by the toxic relationships they created, which isn't true. They're bored, don't know any cool single people or are like lazy or whatever, so annoying and won't help you out. And then there's some people who will go out of their way to not let you meet their girl friends because they say you're part of their guy friend circle and they need their separate group with the girlies and they can't make the groups interact. Dunno.
Right.
Where from here?
I have some leads, which again sounds terribly sad but you know what they say about getting to make choices as a person of limited means.
